Customers that have a Samsung Smart TV from 2017 and onwards will now get Discovery+ as a featured app, and Discovery+ will come pre-installed on new TVs as a priority app. Meanwhile Amazon Fire TV customers can download Discovery+ by searching on the app store, or by using the voice command, “Alexa, open Discovery+”.
